Til The End Ch.7

~~~

Basic Black

"Ok, people good job so far." Hearing that announcement the boardroom cleared, leaving only members of the Black family. John noticed the quiet faces on his daughters faces, Brady had decided his time her would be a vacation, so he didn't come in, but obviously Lucas thought he was going to be there why else would he call I sick. " If there a reason Lucas, didn't come in today?"

" I suggested that Lucas stay home today." Greta shifted closer to the table. "There is more to the story then you guys know."

"Like what?"

"Like the surprise party for Mac, was planned by Chloe." Belle's hand flies to her mouth, to cover her gasp of shock, as the full picture becomes clear. "Yeah, so she arrived earlier yesterday also with a guest."

"Chloe's dating?" Belle wondered for the second time in twenty four hours how she and her best friend could have drifted so far apart that everything about Chloe seemed to be different and new.

" Yeah, I got Chloe version of events last night at Gram's place, along with Jennifer, Hope, and Lucas." She turns to look at her father." Lucas stayed home to work out things with Chloe, he didn't have the best reaction to the divorce, it had very little to do with Brady."

"I don't think any of us had a good reaction." John takes his chair and looks at both daughters. "Is there any chance that either one of you can change his mind about the party." A divorced Brady and Chloe was one thing, they were sure to be fireworks, but with both of them coming with dates, the party was sure to be explosive.

"Not likely Dad, Brady came specifically for this event, and I got the feeling he thought Chloe would be on tour."

Greta looks away, but not before John sees it. "Greta?"

"That was my idea, I thought if we told the public that Chloe was touring the tabloids would lay off, and then Mac would think that Chloe was just stopping in on a layover, then it would be easier to talk her into going to Tuscany, to see her."

"Good idea, but now how do we get rid of Brady before they see each other and War World III starts." Belle remembered the fights that had when they where in love, and she doesn't even want to imagine the fights that happen when they don't. " There is no chance that Chloe would skip Mac's party."

"This is ridiculous, I'm not going to worry, and I'm just going to hope that they can behave like adults." John and Belle looked at Greta with tolerance.

"You're kidding right."

"No, they're adults, professionals, and we just need to hope they remember that."

Belle rolls her eyes at her sister naiveté, and looks at her father. "You take one watch and I take the other."

"Deal." John runs a hand through his hair. "Let's hope that's the last surprise we get." He catches Greta guilty look again, and groans. "What now?"

"I have no clue who he is, but apparently Chloe's boyfriend is someone she went to school with her."

Belle face takes on a thoughtful look. "Who?"

"Jason Masters." Greta eyes widen as her younger sister breaks out in laughter that causes her to fall to the floor. "Something funny?"

Belle struggles to stand up. "You must have made some mistake Chloe and Jason hated each other, there is no way she is dating that Jason Masters, you might as well have said Philip."

"Yeah, well it doesn't matter who it is, it's trouble."

"That's a fact."

Salem Police Station

Bo was having a month. The District attorney was constantly breathing done his neck about the rumors of a new crime lord coming to town, J.T. was in trouble at school again, the anniversary of Patrick's death was in two days, and now Hope was concerned about Chloe's divorce while at the same time worrying about Shawn's job.

"Earth to Bo." Roman leaned against the door jab of his brother's office, and studied him; he looked like he was having a bad day. " You in there little brother."

"Yeah, what's up Roman?"

" There been some activity at some of the properties that Vicente Sims owned." He moves inside and takes a seat. " Our informants say that some one has taken over all of Sims business."

"That's nothing new, every coupe of months some new punk tries to take over where he left off."

"This one is different, they apparently have international connections."

"While they can't be that smart."

"Why do you say that?"

"Yesterday, someone tried to shake down Mac at her dujo, and got thrown through the window." Bo tries to contain the smile, but it was funny.

"Okay, you're right they're stupid." Roman had to admit that having Mac around was handy, she if for nothing more then entertainment value. "I heard Shawn was back."

"Yeah, he showed up late last night, for the party." Bo looks past Roman, and gets up and shuts the door. " Shawn wants us to be on the look out for someone going around using Stefano name."

Roman tenses at the mention of the man that cost him so many years." Any possibility that he still alive?"

Bo shakes his head. " Mac, stood vigil for a couple of days waiting for something, if he did then he is really good."

"I'll be careful, but I think Mac got em, and I don't know of a DiMera dumb enough to come back here."

Private Jet

She sat by the window, watching the world below her. They had no clue that she was coming, that she was back for revenge but she had plans and when she was done all of Salem would regret ever crossing her, and Mac and Shawn especially would regret their action.

Flashback

"FREEZE." Shawn aimed the gun at her and pulled back the hammer." Put Isaac down, and step away from the ledge."

"You out of your league, Brady." Her grip tightens round the small boys body. They would not take her son form her.

"Maybe, but I'm not." Mac step into view she was inches away from Isaac and his kidnapper. "Put the boy down Alexandra, you're scaring him."

Lexie looked down and realized that she was right Isaac was quietly whimpering. "That's your fault."

"Really, you don't think it has anything to do the woman holding him hostage." Shawn inched closer and pleaded with Isaac with his eyes.

He sneaked a glance at Mac and caught her signal.

"SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP." Lexie was shaking with anger, and didn't see the look that passed between her two enemies.

Mac waved two fingers and Shawn made a dive at Lexie, while Mac hit her with a left hook that sent her reeling. Shawn caught Isaac as he felt to the ground, as Mac tried to grab Lexie arm to keep her from falling off the cliff.

"ALEXANDRA, give me your hand." Mac tried to help her, but Lexie just laughed at her.

"Let my death be on your conscience Machiavelli."

Flashback Over

" Ms. DiMera, we ready to land." The butler watched her with concern, she was the last known DiMera, and the weight of the world rested on her shoulders.

"Thank you, Roderick, and I thought I told you to call me Lexie."

"Yes, miss sorry Lexie."

Looking back out the window, Lexie thought f her plans and smiles. "Get ready Salem."
